Most Americans eat some kosher food every day, but chances are they’re not aware of it. Take a walk down the aisles of any supermarket and you will see that certification appears on over 60% of America’s produced foods that are certified kosher, from the coveted Oreo to the thirst-quenching Coca-Cola. Over $150 billion of kosher certified products are consumed annually, and spending continues to rise dramatically.

OUKosher Visits the Thaifex World of Food Show 2018

For the last 15 years, the Thaifex World of Food show in Bangkok has been the ultimate food show for innovation. Vendors and visitors travel from across the globe to show off their food and beverage products or to sample some of the products that may not have even hit the market. Some of the greatest ideas for food innovation including organic quinoa nuggets, rice oil spray, and gluten free beer, have been developed at this conference.

Phyllis Koegel, Marketing Director for OUKosher said “This show is one of the highlights of the year for us because of the show’s size and scope. We are so excited to see many of our Asian companies here as well as companies from across the globe. We also appreciate the opportunity to meet with companies who have expressed interest in bringing diverse new products to the Kosher marketplace.”

Highlights at the Thaifex World of Food show include coffee made by Asian celebrity coffee designer Arnon Thitiprasert, renowned for his intricate latte drawings. The show will also include a showcase of 50 innovative food products with categories for organic foods, finger foods and, you guessed it, kosher foods. This year’s innovative Kosher foods include sriracha mayo, Japanese Matcha tea, and Asian Cajun blend seasoning.
